Today, we remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country. Memorial Day is more than a long weekend or the unofficial start of summer, it is a time to reflect on the sacrifices made to protect the freedoms we enjoy every day.

As our community gathers for remembrance ceremonies and traditions throughout Wauconda, we encourage everyone to take a moment to honor those who never made it home and the families who continue to carry their memory forward.

Their courage, sacrifice, and service will never be forgotten.

A powerful documentary detailing Eric’s quest for recovery with a spirit that won’t be silenced

A testimonial account about Illinois singer and Wauconda resident Eric Kinkel’s authentic chronicles of distress, heartbreak and despair, after losing his greatest gift – his vocal cords – to brain trauma. This film walks you through his life story, and his quest to effectively recover both his brain and vocal cord functions, so he can speak and sing again with his once voluminous voice.
